B-
This has Enn Reitel, one of the better one-timers, as well as a returning Fry, whom we wouldn't see on WLIIA again until '97 (on an episode I don't own, although I've watched some of it on Youtube). It also was the last of the five episodes that the then-husband and I saw in the summer of '90 on Oregon Public Broadcasting, and we thought that the increased sexual references (including John climbing on Stephen's back and "copulating" with him) had gotten the show cancelled. Oh, sure, it all looks pretty innocent now, but at the time even something like Clive awarding 69 points was surprisingly naughty.
Anyway, Enn proves to be a more accessible (to Americans) impressionist than Rory Bremner, and yet he does impersonations of people who aren't easy to do, like Vincent Price and Dustin Hoffman. Too bad he wasn't asked back.
